About this episode
In this week's episode my guest is the brilliant Joe Skipper. Joe is one of the worlds top Ironman athletes. He has 3 top ten Ironman World Championship finishes to his name, including 5th in 2022, and is one of the greatest cyclists the sport has ever seen. He has won several Ironman races, and in September 2022, he made up over fifteen minutes after suffering a bike mechanical in Tenby to win at IRONMAN Wales, with one of the most impressive full distance performances on British soil. He also took part in the Sub7 project where, along with Kristian Blummenfelt he broke the seven hour mark in the 140.6-mile iron-distance. And he has now competed in a HYROX – and, despite the race not going how he might have hoped, he loved it and sounds like he wants to come back for more! In this chat we talk more about the sub7 project experience, we talk about his training (including his running training and how that might translate to HYROX), we discuss his best sporting experiences, how he liked HYROX, and lots lots more. It’s a brilliant chat with a truly incredible athlete and I think you’ll really enjoy it. 🏅 This episode is supported by Xendurance who sell a range of supplements absolutely perfect for improving your performance in HYROX.
